[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reach for my kid was only in the sense of 3-5% acceptance rates. He had the straight As, rigor, 35 ACT, 5s all AP exams and well-rounded ecs. He did well RD. In at 2 Ivies, Hopkins and several T15/20s. We still call them “reach”, merely based on selectivity—not reaching for schools above gpa/scores. [/quote] Yes. Some kids have the lottery ticket for anywhere. There are zero reach based on their merit. They are reach only because the school has low acceptance rates and so many kids with tippy top grades scores and too few seats. [/quote]
